It is in no way economically sustainable. Ferrari’s budget is 470 million euros, same for McLaren and 360 million for Mercedes as it is. Hell, Toyota supposedly used near one billion euros on one of their seasons in the sport, without achieving anything.

At least you could see some 159’s and Breras 5 years ago. They have been dead past years. Now they are investing to the brand in form of new rear-wheel drive architecture and 8 new cars by 2018.

It is a facia most of NA isn’t familiar for sure. In the end it is the design that has moved any Alfas in Europe, because there certainly hasn’t been much else to the cars of past years.

FIFA’s voting is the same as Night’s Watch, where every country got equal vote and that’s the problem.

It’s not secret that pretty every African nation(if not every) voted him, and same goes for Asia. That alone is more than enough.

FIFA is a complicated net. Head of UEFA, Platini has been against FIFA for ages.

F1 is managed by a old billionaire senile, but at least they tend to act when the shit gets too high and teams are too big of a entity in F1 for Bernie to call all shots. Bernie has also done a lot good to the sport in form of safety and forming it truly a global sport in past 40 years.

Do you see FCA as a strong contender in the next 10 years and onwards? FCA just isn’t much of a contender in the electric, smarter car space at all. VW Group is throwing ridiculous amounts of cash in R&D, buying small companies every other month relating to batteries, more connected, self driving cars. Possibly soon…

Yeah the swooning over this one is a bit over the top, even if I do agree with much of the text. Full disclosure would have also helped.

What you are saying doesn’t exactly fit with your argument...

Yeah I love how blatantly obvious it was the crowd was booing Russia just as loudly as last time when the voting was going on. Even if they tried to mask this year.

Not sure where to start. Eurovision song contest as name implies is a song contest watched by 200 million people every year in Europe, Israel, plus Australia that was let in for 60 years anniversary of the competition.

One major market boycotting Qatar to a point it gets cancelled would be great, but we need much more. UEFA is the one that holds the keys to actually change soccers governing body with every single league that matter residing under it, and the main market for the sport. FIFA is nothing without UEFA.

Russia will happen, with much of the projects halfway and there’s really no loud opposition with most people talking about Qatar.

If he want to win big trophies Spain or Germany is the place to be, though it’s clear that Real wont have a place for him anymore.

You don’t say? More about him facing Chiellini and Evra.

No Suarez jokes yet?

You probably are right, and I would absolutely love Barcelona to take it, but at the same time I can’t be mad either team taking it home.

As far as I’m concerned Europe and North America could host them all, hell London could host it alone with four 60 000-90 000 arenas and six 25 000-45 000 arenas.

Olympics as it is, likely. World Cup? There are plenty of countries that are more than capable to support larger stadiums, and already do compared to what Brazil build.
